This event has passed.

The famous Cherry Trees that line the UW Quad should be in bloom for this tour. Enjoy a beautiful walk surrounded by pink blossoms while learning about the eclectic mix of architectural styles on the UW campus.

Come see how this glorious “University of a Thousand Years” has managed through its first 150. Go back in time to bask in the rich detail of Gothic, Renaissance, and Beaux Arts architecture. Stroll through serene quadrangles, lush gardens and awe-inspiring interiors along the way. Witness some new stars as contemporary buildings change with the needs of this fine institution. Oh, and did we mention it has the most fabulous view of Mount Rainier?
